Il mondo non finisce

Simic's poems often delve into the transient nature of life—I'm curious what personal experiences or influences shaped this focus in 'The World Doesn't End.'

The poems seem to grapple with dark subjects but also contain moments of subtle beauty. How did others interpret the balance between despair and hope?

Simic's sparse language feels deliberate, but I'm wondering if this choice amplifies the emotional weight or leaves too much unsaid for some readers.
